The Indian Aerospace Defence News tweeted a video showcasing a demo of its Jetpack system
The army procured jetpacks for surveillance along LAC after Ladakh standoff with China in 2020
The jet pack suit is a device that propels the wearer through the air. The device uses gas or liquid to propel the user to fly.
Considered to be a gamechanger, the equipment can go for 10 kilometres.
The suits can be used in situations where vehicles are not accessible and where waiting for a vehicle is not feasible.
The Indian Army had issued the requirement to procure 48 jet pack suits under emergency procurement
The jet suits are considered ideal for patrolling and surveillance missions
